FUTURE OUTLOOK

Searle has a firm commitment to grow and increase its market share among its competitors
and maintain its organic and in-organic growth despite of challenges of a turbulent regulatory
environment and volatile economic scenario due to the pandemic. This commitment of Searle is
reflected in the acquisition of OBS Pharma (now Searle Pakistan Limited). Searle is also focusing
on its product demand in international market due to increased healthcare spending trend after
COVID-19 which is expected to translate into greater revenues for the industry.

DECEMBER 2021 03
At Searle, we are all highly motivated and willing to contribute enthusiastically for the progress
of the Company. Same is the case with our partners, suppliers and customers, for which we
are thankful and expect the same zeal and zest for future contribution. We assure Searle will
continue to work hard to provide long term sustainable growth to everyone associated with us.

4. ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS AND


FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

4.1 The preparation of unconsolidated condensed interim financial statements in conformity


with accounting and reporting standards, as applicable in Pakistan, requires management
to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of the
accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses.
The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and
various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the
results of which form the basis of making the judgements about the carrying values of
assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may
differ from these estimates.

4.2 The significant judgements made by the management in applying the Company’s
accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as
those that applied to the annual unconsolidated financial statements as at and for the
year ended June 30, 2021.

4.3 The Company’s financial risk management objectives and policies are consistent with
those disclosed in the audited annual financial statements as at and for the year ended
June 30, 2021.

FUTURE OUTLOOK
Searle has a firm commitment to grow and increase its market share among its competitors
and maintain its organic and in-organic growth despite of challenges of a turbulent regulatory
environment and volatile economic scenario due to the pandemic. This commitment of Searle is
reflected in the acquisition of OBS Pharma (now Searle Pakistan Limited). Searle is also focusing
on its product demand in international market due to increased healthcare spending trend after
COVID-19 which is expected to translate into greater revenues for the industry.

At Searle, we are all highly motivated and willing to contribute enthusiastically for the progress
of the Company. Same is the case with our partners, suppliers and customers, for which we
are thankful and expect the same zeal and zest for future contribution. We assure Searle will
continue to work hard to provide long term sustainable growth to everyone associated with us.
